foobar novice here.i am using kameleon 1.2.what i would like to do is sub group all albums from the same artist under the artist header.so that there is only one entry for each artist with all their albums under the same artist upon expanding.i see that putting only artist under group works but of course the albums are not sorted.also how to remove the artist name in the track listing,so that only the track name shows.thanks much.

please somebody help me with this.its driving me crazy.even with the folder preset in 1.2 its not working

I couldn't find it in the search, so if this question's already been answered, I guess you can ignore it.

So in fb2k (using the MonoLite config), with ELPlaylist.

I have a lot of bands that start with "The" - The Beatles, The Who, etc.

How do I get ELPlaylist to sort ignoring "The" (or "the" obviously )? I figure I'd use $swapprefix(), but I can't figure out *where* to put it.

Hi guys, first, this playlist is awesome! But one thing i cant get to work, which is my artwork. I cant figure it out, also i find the code a bit complicated. But here's the deal: i have album art in most of my folders called: front.jpg Now i can let it load that, but on some albums it doesnt have front.jpg but f.i. albumname-front.jpg. It doesn't load that. So the question for me is, if the script can handle wildcards? so it can load *front*.jpg.
And while i'm at it, if theres more jpgs in the folder i'd like it best if it first picks the front.jpg, then the *front*.jpg and then *.jpg. Is this possible?

Here's the parts of the script i think that relate:

script / tracklist:
$puts(config_name,'columns')
$puts(foo_path,%FOOBAR_PATH%)
$puts(image.path,$get(foo_path)'images/'$get(config_name))

script / group header:

$puts(config_name,'columns')
$puts(foo_path,%FOOBAR_PATH%)
$puts(image.path,$get(foo_path)'images/'$get(config_name))
$puts(bg.color,$ifequal(%BG.COLOR.ON%,1,%BG.COLOR%,$if2(%fooday_bg_color%,015-015-016-255)))

$puts(art.size,%ART.SIZE.GROUP%)
$puts(art.size2,%ART.SIZE%)

field defenition:

art.cover : $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)front.jpg
artreader.source : *jpg

Thanks for your support.

Code: [Select]
 $ findfile (path, [path2, path3 ,...]) 
 path (wildcards accepted) to be specified in the file exists, returns the first file. 
 If you do not have the file does not return anything. (Strictly speaking, "false" returns) 
 Path can be specified.

should work with that

No need to mess around with ELP in this case, you can set the wildcards in foo_covers. The only thing you might want to change is artreader.source to:
artreader_front
artreader_artist
artreader_back 
artreader_disc 
artreader_icon

i'm sorry, but i really dont seem to grasp it...

even if i set
ARTREADER.SOURCE : artreader_front

i dont get a front..., it only works if i specifically put it to ARTREADER.SOURCE : front

and i believe the artreader itself works as to the left there is a pic...
i have

ART.COVER : $replace(%path%,%filename_ext%,)front.jpg

or am i looking in all the wrong places?

Here is a pic of my config so far, without the pic in el_playlist

Hello there, this may have been asked before :
I just installed ELPlaylist, enabled it, but my art covers appear only if I have a picture in the album folder. Since 99% of my tracks have the album picture in the tags, I was wondering if it was possible to somehow ask ELPlaylist to display the pic from the tracks tag..

Do you mean embedded arts?
You can use "artreader" option in $imageabs() to read embedded album arts.

Is it possible to implement inline tag editing?

I have two playlists and I'd like them to have different styles.. how can I do that?

In SCPL I could use %playlist_name% to determine the current playlist name, but in ELPlaylist... ?

Thanks!

Just go to EL setting >> Grouping >> Playlist Filter ( enable playlist filter first) >> specify the playlists and the script profile

How many are using ELPlaylist with a large library?

I tried it with my 45000-track collection, and it was dead-slow. I tried optimizing it not to feature glow or other unnessesary graphics options and still it took a very long time for it to render. A shame really, because I like it's customizability.
Can't wait for a HD-AAC encoder :P

you have to limit graphics are the minimum and do not use $drawimage but $imageabs, is really faster !!

same idea, only use $drawtextex for text display, it's the fastest function.

Thanks that centainly helped!

How can I enable selection with visual style on group headers? That was possible for me yesterday, but isn't anymore for some reason. Though the playing group is marked and items work fine.

just a quick question i hope somebody can help with.
just started to use the most recent version of this component with my Curacao config, i have "resume playback after restart" enabled and normally whenever i restart the track playing comes into focus but since using the latest version it jumps to the track whilst foobar is initializing then immediately jumps to the top of the playlist.

is this standard behaviour now or am i missing an option or new code?

thanks for your time

Hi, does anyone know is there is any way to get the active playlist name?

I really need it for multiple radios playlists headers (i.e. VA albums with %album artist% out of user reach).
Was using %cwb_activelist% while cwb_hooks was supported.

I started with EL Playlist now and can´t figure out three things:

1. How can I set the albumart to be displayed in the group header AND the track section in one piece? I´ve messed around with setworldtransform but nothing really worked. Or do I have to display it in both (so let´s say to have the upper part cropped in the header and the rest in the track section)?

2. What´s the variable for the foobar root path (e.g. C:\program files\foobar2000)? %el_foobar_path% or anything similar doesn´t work

3. I can´t rename the grouping presets (the button is greyed out and to rename it in the drop-down doesn´t work). I´d like to use it with %el_preset_name% in the EL script, but this way I can only create one preset (named 'new preset') and use it in the script. I helped myself using %el_preset_index%, which is ok for me now, but if people rearrange the preset order, it will be messed up.

1) you have to draw them in both locations and line them up. i'm assuming $imageabs_rc is needed for that. haven't used it myself though

2) not needed.

3) haven't a clue

Not sure if you can manage a workaround with this component (foo_cmd_playlist)

I use it to activate certain playlists.

I just press "new", mark the text "new preset" type in whatever and the option "rename" is enabled.

Can't think of any setting that would stop it from working.

Hi, I'm having a problem here with multi-disc albums.
Not all, but some of them are displayed as

ALBUMTITLE(disc 1/2)
  TRACK01
ALBUMTITLE(disc 2/2)
  TRACK01
  TRACK02
ALBUMTITLE(disc 1/2)
  TRACK02
  TRACK03
ALBUMTITLE(disc 2/2)
  TRACK03
  TRACK04                ...and so on.

I'm not sure this is caused by ELplaylist settings, but I see no difference
in tagging. Trying to understand the group and sort format for hours, but can't figure out.
Can anyone help me out?
I'm using xchange v2 setup (Thank you Falstaff for those great configs!)

check there are no spaces at the beginning/end of your album tags.

foobar can even automatically remove it for you. highlight all your files, goto properties, right click the "album" field, select "format from other fields" and type in

$trim(%album%)

thanks I suspected it´s like this.

for 2) why is it not needed? Some of the images I use in ELPL are located in the images folder of foobar. Now I made a field for the complete path in the field definition. It´s ok (but would be handy to have a foobar path field to avoid problems when switching to another system...). But as I said, it´s ok
